Man any real scrapper would love the type set up that you have. When I was introduced to the scrap business l had believed that scrapping could scale into a small home based business with the proper connections and equipment.

With all the copper wire your able to get you ever thought about just having someone work at stripping it all day and free your time up to go pick up more and take off the loads to the scrap yard.

[@jmonsted]

You could replace the two guys behind the machine with... more spools! As an electronics and solar power hobbyist, it hurts to see all of that good wire getting scrapped - in pretty good lengths too!

[@ProjectShopFl]

I can't keep it all, believe me I would love to. I get so much I don't have the room or money to keep all the good runs I get. I am also a solar power hobbyists, I ordered blocks of pre tabbed cells and made my own panels and powered the lights in my first shop.

[@facewarren1892]

You must have good customers. Man wish i was able to get this much wire. Ive turned in $220 dollars worth but that was just dumbster findings.

[@ProjectShopFl]

At least you got it for free, I pay for most of my scrap.

Safety can be an underrated theme, til it’s not. Be save out there in the scraping jungle. Off topic, what is your estimated power usage per month? Really enjoy seeing the progress of problem solving.

[@ProjectShopFl]

The power is included in the rent. lol

[@riskaddictionrc]

Nice

[@haynillesen]

you ve got those open chain sprockets, I grabbed in one of those , in the dark like you are working.Cost me one fingertip, instead i got a lifelong neussance

[@ProjectShopFl]

WOW! Thanks for your concern, I will be putting covers on all that.

[@richardweaver9682]

Instead of sending all that insulation to the trash, find someone who can make a colored thread or cheap rope out of it. We have people aroundwho take old plastic grocery bags and crochet sleeping mats for the homeless as well as placemats, doilies etc.

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks for the suggestion

I do believe rendering is from one video format to a different type of video format

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks

[@chrtopherscinta2153]

rendering means it changing the video to the same format as the other video

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks, I've gotten better at editing. At least I think so. lol

[@mybyakugandontwork]

Was wondering if it's possible to convert the scrap shielding plastic in to bricks/tiles, Seen a few mini docks of such in Africa.

[@ProjectShopFl]

Great Idea thanks for watching

[@southside1975]

You know something is wrong when scaping good rolls of wire is worth more then someone using it.

[@ProjectShopFl]

Nothing is wrong, I buy wire like this all the time. Electrical contractors can't keep it all and neither can I. Thanks for watching.

[@paulleblancjr.1794]

If I had all wire I wouldn't stop stripping until I had it all done I just wouldn't be able stop how did u meet this guy iam still amazed by that wire

[@ProjectShopFl]

Its from one of my customers.

[@brianthaxton229]

Having dealt with wire for years....there was much more value in trying to sell that on the spool than it was to spend the time and labor to strip it for recycle

[@ProjectShopFl]

I get so much wire like that I can't sell it all. I do some times but I don't have the time or the space.

[@quigglesquigz8146]

I’m from east coast Canada but man I wish I could come help you scrap.

[@billrey8221]

Why are all of those spools of wire scrape?

[@ProjectShopFl]

They were from an electrician that moved the shop and scraped most of the old inventory

[@pneumatic00]

Kind of hate to see nice lengths of clean wire going to "waste".

[@ProjectShopFl]

Me too! I wish I could sit on all the copper I get but its space and money. I would not call it "Waste", its giving people work, I made money, my help made money, same for where I sell it. then we all spend the money helping lots of people in the process. Thanks for watching.

[@pneumatic00]

@@ProjectShopFl I'm not talking about 3-8 foot snippets. Just sayin'...500 ft 12/1 wire is $100 at HD = exactly 20 cents/foot. 1000 ft = 20 lbs. 50' is only 1 lb = what, not even $3 in scrap? The issue for folks who do not use gobs of this wire is, they have to buy a big reel for a 35' run. It's especially good bec you have the odd colors. Could you offer 50 feet lengths, 5 colors, Bk-Wh-Grn-Red-Blu-for $35? You wouldn't even have to measure, you could just weigh it once you knew how much the reels weigh. Maybe it's not worth it. The big value is NOT having to buy a 500' roll to get 8 feet of purple wire.

Rendering is putting all the zero's and one's into the format that you see when hitting the play button. "Software rendering is the process of generating an image from a model by means of computer software. ... Rendering is the last step in an animation process, and gives the final appearance to the models and animation with visual effects such as shading, texture-mapping, shadows, reflections and motion blurs"
